\[\large x^2+bx\]To complete the square, we take half of the \(\large b\) term, and square it.
\[\large x^2+bx+\left(\frac{b}{2}\right)^2\]Now we can't just add this number, it will change the value of our polynomial, we want to keep it balanced. So we have to also subtract this number.
\[\large \color{royalblue}{x^2+bx+\left(\frac{b}{2}\right)^2}-\left(\frac{b}{2}\right)^2\]The reason for doing this is, the blue part will now factor down into a perfect square. A binomial containing x and half of the b term.\[\large \color{royalblue}{\left(x+\frac{b}{2}\right)^2}-\left(\frac{b}{2}\right)^2\]

\[\large x^2+x+1\]The \(\large b\) coefficient appears to be 1. (The middle term ~ because \(\large x\) is the same as \(\large 1\cdot x\) ).
So to to complete the square, we'll take half of 1, and square it.\[\large \color{orangered}{x^2+x+\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^2}-\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^2+1\]I moved the 1 out of the way, we don't want to deal with that right now.
Ok the orange part should give us a perfect square now,\[\large \color{orangered}{\left(x+\frac{1}{2}\right)^2}-\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^2+1\]
Which will simplify further to,\[\large \left(x+\frac{1}{2}\right)^2+\frac{3}{4}\]
